CRAZY PEOPLE DO THE DARNEDEST THINGS
This story is not for the faint of heart. If you blush at anything “odd” – don’t read it. Anyways, after reading it, I have to wonder if there were any extrabucks on the reciept. And I wonder if the coupon was “expired”. I’m just light-headed thinking of all comedic lines I can come up with behind this one.

EGYPT CRISIS
In Egypt a total of 40% of a families budget goes to paying for food. In the U.S. it’s 11%. A lot of other Arab nations are in crisis now because the systems there are out of whack. Lots have rulers that oppress people. Hopefully everything will end peacefully in other nations as they look to create a more democratic, fairer society. Interesting to see some rulers give immediate raises to workers to try to quell the riots. But with the success in Egypt that isn’t going to work as it didn’t there. We’re going to see civil wars at an unprecedented pace there.

CABLE
My cable bill just jumped another $5. I’ll be calling the retention department there to see if they can give me a better deal. I’ll also check http://www.billshrink.com to find out the best cable/dish deal. It showed Dish being cheapest for me, but they usually have a low monthly fee that jumps in year 2.
Hey, maybe I’ll get an antennae and ditch my cable. If you plan to use traditional antenna or rabbit ears for your TV, go to http://www.antennaweb.org to find what over-the-air stations are available where you live. The site will also recommend an antenna for your TV depending on where you are located. You may need to get a digital ATSC tuner, found in most TVs built since 2007. Get more antenna information at http://www.tvfool.com and http://www.antennapoint.com.
LAS VEGAS
I was in Vegas this past week. I always like to ask taxi guys about the deals. He said that the locals said that the M Resort had a buffet that was out of this world for the price. Here is a link to it:

I usually like to play the slot machines. I won $115 on one pull on a penny slot! There is a trick though. In order to win big you have to max bet. You’d think the penny slots are cheap since they are penny slots, right. Nope. The one I was on like most other penny slots have 40 ways or so to win. Now times that by the max bet amount which is 5 and it costs $2.
The quarter slots are usually are $1 or $1.25 for a max bet. Most of the quarter slots you have to match three across while the penny or nickel slots and you need 5 across, so there are more combinations to win with the penny and nickel slots meaning they cost more when max betting. You can’t win much if you don’t max bet. Check out the possible amounts to win and you’ll see that the penny slots don’t pay out as much for the grand prizes. The quarter slots surprisingly pay more and charge less!
I met Michael Strahan at the conference and chatted with him about the Browns. He’s the pro-bowler/Super-Bowl winner from the New York Giants. Funny guy. He’s on Fox sports. He threw some autographed footballs to the crowd at dinnertime at the seminar I was at. Talk about an accident waiting to happen. I never seen so many out-of-shape guys trying to catch a football. They were bouncing off heads. He even threw one that hit the lights on the ceiling that richocheted downward. I was just waiting for one to skip off someone’s bald head and into a table full of drinks and food. After a few errant throws into a crowd of people I knew he had to throw a safe pass and there I was in the front with nobody around me wide open. He looks at me and I’m still open and sure enough he throws me one of the balls. I didn’t bobble it either. I plan to meet with the Browns next week to play for them.

EATING HABITS
There was a story about the states with the worst eating habits. Ohio was ranked 8th. Sure, there are times when I spread out like Jabba the Hut across my couch and eat junk all day. Sometimes I’m so lazy to even pick up the food. I try to reach it with the least amount of effort by jabbing my sticky tongue at nearby chips or cookies like a chameleon launching it’s tongue to capture it’s meal. One time I got a mouthful of beverage coasters with one errant flick. I think I tasted some leftover coffee on it.
And my choice of food isn’t always the best. When you shop like I do and have 15 variations of each snack food available to mankind it can be tempting to eat poorly because of all the tasty treats that are all around.
Couponers tend to buy what is on sale and that usually means buying a lot of processed foods, but I always temper it with making sure we do eat healthy. I try to counter it by buying tons of fruits and vegetables. We have a Noah’s Ark of food at our house. There always seems to be two of everything. Usually one is fresh while the other is getting ready to rot. Two bags of carrots (I’m not sure if one is male while the other is female), two bags of oranges, two sprigs of green onions, two beets, and so on.
Sometimes I buy stuff that is healthy not knowing if I will even eat it. For instance, if I buy beets they may just be for show since I may not whip up a hearty batch of borscht with them.
The best deals I find for produce are at Aldi’s, Sav-a-Lot, and Marcs. Valu King is ok, but I have noticed that the produce deals there and even Marc’s aren’t as good as they used to be. Here’s a rule of thumb about finding the best produce deals. If the produce section is in the back of the store, the store will have good deals on produce. If the produce section is in front of the store as you walk in, the deals aren’t so great. Why do stores do that? They know that people don’t want to spend the time running around for deals, so they know people will commit to buying the produce at their store if it is the first section that the see. If it was expensive and in the back of the store then people won’t buy as much and might even decide to go elsewhere for the produce deals. All the big grocery stores like Heinen’s, Giant Eagle, Buehler’s have their produce sections as you walk into the store.
If you look at their ads they have the least amount of produce items on sale, usually only two or three. Even their BOGO deals on produce aren’t so hot since they price them so high initially. For instance, the other week I got blueberries at Aldis for $1.69 while at Giant Eagle they were BOGO which made them $1.99 each – at BOGO prices! Still much cheaper at Aldis.
The quality is good for the cheaper produce too. At times I think Aldis does freeze theirs so sometimes you might get a bad batch if they keep it too cold for too long. But it’s usually great quality with name brands like Dole and Driscoll. And the family that owns Aldi’s also owns Trader Joe’s!
Convenience is worth something. But most stores with low priced produce like Aldis’ Marcs, and Sav-a-Lot are a stones throw away from the grocery stores. To me it’s worth saving $20 for the extra 15 minutes to go there. In essence, that equates to making $80 an hour on your job!
Speaking of Sav-a-Lot, there are four $5 off a $20 purchase coupons in the Our Town and All Around Book. If you are interested in purchasing one they are $28 with free shipping at
Limited supply left. There are tons of other coupons in it – around 1,000. You can get it at http://www.joethecouponguy.com/merchandise/index.htm.
What I found interesting in the article is that Ohio has one of the worst ratios of grocery stores to people. It was ranked 45th with .18 grocery stores per 1,000 people. Less competition means higher pricing.
Here’s the story about the states with the worst eating habits.
